Failed comic who defaced Eurydice Dixon's memorial has case adjourned

The failed comic who admitted to spray painting Eurydice Dixon's memorial sneaked out of court today after his case was adjourned.

Andrew Nolch drew an image of male genitalia on a shrine established in the park where Ms Dixon was found raped and murdered.

Ms Dixon, 22, was killed on her way home from a comedy show at which she appeared in Melbourne on June 12.

A 19-year-old man has been charged with her rape and murder.

The offensive markings were discovered painted on a football pitch where mourners had placed flowers and tributes in honour of the 22-year-old ahead of a vigil planned for June 18.

Nolch is facing charges of criminal damage, offensive behaviour and making offensive graffiti.

In July, Nolch told 9NEWS he was "sorry for offending" Ms Dixon’s family and friends, but did not regret what he did.

He said he believed the tragedy of her death had been hijacked by feminists.

"It wasn't an attack on Eurydice, it was more of an attack on how the mainstream media reported her death," he said.

"They turned the death of a soon-to-be famous comedian into a women’s rights issue, and tried to blame it all on men.

"They should've brought up the autism issue and vaccines that are linked to autism."

Nolch clarified he did not know Ms Dixon, but had received backlash in the comedy community for his “strong anti-feminist beliefs and stance on vaccinations”.

The vandal, who claims he is 29, hosted a late-night show called The Kink on Melbourne’s Channel 31, a non-profit community television station, from 2014 until late last year.

He has dozens of videos posted to his YouTube channel on the topic of Scientology, conspiracy theories and "the craziness of political correctness."

Despite the spray paint attack on Ms Dixon's memorial, thousands turned out to remember her at a vigil. (Nine)A 19-year-old man has been charged with her rape and murder. (Nine)Fire crews used high-pressure hoses to remove the paint and the public vigil went ahead. (Nine)

The 31-year-old also posed as transgender for five videos, before admitting he had faked his transition announcement to "trick people".

"Making the videos was funny and a challenge of my acting abilities."

Fire crews used high-pressure hoses to remove the paint and the public vigil went ahead, with thousands of people turning out in Melbourne – and many others in capital cities across Australia - to pay their respects.
